Someone called police and reported seeing from a hospital window a large animal with a 6-foot tail behind a residence in the 3300 block of Southwest 10th Avenue.

The woman said the animal was about 20 yards from the hospital window.

"It's still there. We're in Portland. It's kinda creepy," she told the 911 dispatcher, according to a recording of the phone conversation.

The caller and another person told police they are hunters and are familiar with cougars, according to a news bulletin from the Portland Police Bureau. Officers combed the area and could not find the cougar.
